His research explores how prostate cancer cells adhere to bone marrow endothelial cells and examines novel compounds to inhibit tumor-associated angiogenesis. Key areas include CAM-ligand interactions, Akt signaling pathways, and therapeutic resistance mechanisms. Collaborators include John Connolly (High School Volunteer) and David Matera (McNair Summer Intern).
